Shaw, G: Illegitimate Heirs

The idea of a Flying Car, or a vehicle that is able to levitate above the surface of the ground is not new. It has been spoken of for centuries and involves a method by which gravitation is counteracted by a means that reverses the fall of an object and provides a cushioning effect that causes it to float without visible means.
Reports of Alien activity verify such, but the technology required is still to this day, sought after.
This is the story of a group of individuals from very different backgrounds, having different skills, who come together and build such a vehicle capable of carrying passengers and which makes redundant the conventional motor vehicle.
The problem they encounter is not the technology that is required, but the politicians and the lobbyists and those who protect an industry which employs thirteen million people or 6.6 percent of the workforce in the United States alone.
The book navigates through the lives of those individuals involved, starting from adolescence and coming to that point where they meet and realize the potential of such a venture and move forward.
It describes their lives in detail from their youth, then going forward, sometimes involving opposition and disappointments and the reality of what life is really all about as they struggle to make their marks in a sometimes inhospitable world.
